akisame__ said: Would Bakuman count as an anime about a person who is a professional in their field? Can anyone recommend me a good three-cour, preferably fantasy, anime? Finally: Watch an anime recommended to you by another Anime Watching Challenge participant I'm not very picky, but please don't recommend me anything ecchi or shoujo. My favourite genres are fantasy, slice of life, comedy and GOOD ROMANCE. Yes. Both main characters are professional mangakas. For the 3-cour, maybe you would like Kingdom. Not really fantasy, but close. Tonari no Seki-kun is very fun. I hope you like it. |

| If I'm seinen, it's correct to use josei with the demographic? (Since it's for females). Or it has to be the complete opposite? (shoujo) Also, it's correct to use Seitokai yakuindomo for non-romantic relationships? (Since all the characters bond in the student council, but they don't develop romantic relationships, I think). Or it has to be one anime that it's about 2 people only, and they are in a non-romantic relationship? (Like father-son, or brothers) And for the romantic relationship, they need to be/end together, or it can be one of those animes that they are always playing with the idea, but never have the guts to do something, even when both clearly want to be together? |

For focus on non-romantic relationships, watch Ano Hana I recommend Death Note. It's very good and it's also recommended to one of your favorite anime, Psycho-Pass. |

nikki-no-otaku said: Chi's Sweet Home is a two cour anime, but with the way the challenge is worded I believe it would still count.Samii said: It could, since you didn't start watching it before 2016 (the challenge period). But if you watched at least one episode or more before the challenge period, you can't use it. Brill, thanks!! Re: my previous post ( ) I decided to drop that altogether, and take Great Teacher Onizuka for 3+cours and Black Jack TV for pro in their field. I thought it's disputable whether Chi's Sweet Home would work for the 3+cours anime as it's only 3min/eps, and I'm not sure of the rules anymore (e.g., how long does an eps have to be to count? 25-26 min?). I mean, Durarara!! x2 isn't supposed to be divided into 3 parts on MAL, as those are just arcs of the same season, and like that, Bleach could be divided into arcs. On the same note, Sailor Moon Crystal has two arcs in one season on MAL but will have the third arc in a separate, third season. So, nothing is making sense to me anymore, and as such I decided to go with those series as I'm hoping they do meet the criteria. Durarara!! x2 is a three cour anime that was broken up into three one cour sections which each aired separately. MAL breaks up anime that take rest periods of 13 weeks or longer so even though it is a three cour anime it can't count towards the cour challenge. |

| As a 20-year old female, is josei the only demographic that applies to me? I don't think I'll find it interesting to watch, as almost all josei is slice-of-life :c |
Josine said: As a 20-year old female, is josei the only demographic that applies to me? I don't think I'll find it interesting to watch, as almost all josei is slice-of-life :c I think Shoujo isn't too far off. Honestly, this age thing for demographics aren't very set on stone, and shoujo is targeted at young women/girls, so I think it may fit too. |

I haven't seen it, but it is a Joesi that isn't SOL. |

Hmm, shoujo-ai seems targeted towards both male and female, at least, that's how I see it. |

animeCats said: The Yuru Yuri manga doesn't have a specified demographic unfortunately. It was originally published in Comic Yuri Hime S which is targeted to both shounen and seinen demographics. It is currently being published in Comic Yuri Hime which has various series which target different demographics. Because of this ambiguity you would have to be either female, younger than 8, or older than 50 for it to target a demographic which doesn't apply to you.I have just one question which I probably have answered already.

But you could put Yuru Yuri in other items like: 'main cast only children' or 'main cast only with one gender', etc... What you should be looking for is Shounen. There's lots to pick so it should be easy :) |

| I must sound stupid but, is their an easier way to see how many completed members an anime has other than adding it to your list..? Im referencing: Watch an anime with less than 10k/25k/45k completed members |

Thnx4dafood said: I must sound stupid but, is their an easier way to see how many completed members an anime has other than adding it to your list..? Im referencing: Watch an anime with less than 10k/25k/45k completed members Go to the anime's page and click the stats tab. It's a pain in the ass but you kinda have to check them individually. Sequels tend to be less viewed than non-sequels. And old stuff is also less popular. |

nikki-no-otaku said: zombie_pegasus said: MAL breaks up anime that take rest periods of 13 weeks or longer [...] MAL does lots of things it's not supposed to, but let's not get into that. I solved my dilemma with this, but I noticed something else: there are quite a few users who have badges with "I completed the 2015 anime watching challenge", but they were not mentioned as winners in the current watching challenge. How come? I find this peculiar. I'm assuming because the winners in the new thread is concerning the new challenge. The winners of last year's challenge are in last year'ss thread. nikki-no-otaku said: As for the romantic anime, it has to be exactly that: romantic, regardless of whether they end up together or not. Nisekoi would work. Also, anything else that has romance as a genre. It specifically says "an anime that focuses on a couple with a romantic relationship." As in one primary romantic relationship. I'd assume this excludes harem. The way it's worded leads me to believe the show's primary story is supposed to be based around a couple and their relationship, not just any anime that is in the romance tag. Nodame Cantabile would work but Sakamichi No Apollon not really. Lovely Complex would work but Nana not really. Honestly, most of the highly rated shows in the romance tag I would say don't qualify for the challenge. Haruhi, Kenshin(not sure about the OVA), Bakuman, Tatami Galaxy, Major, Cross Game, Toradora, Host Club, NHK, Nagi No Asakara, Berserk(weirdly included): all stuff in the romance tag that I wouldn't consider an anime that "focuses on a couple with a romantic relationship". And I think Your Lie In April is arguable as to whether it counts or not, and that's the second highest rated show in the tag. I haven't seen after story so I can't speak on it. |

Nodame Cantabile would work but Sakamichi No Apollon not really. Lovely Complex would work but Nana not really. Hm, I guess you're right with the couple part, but then by your definition, Nodame doesn't work either. They don't start as a couple and their relationship isn't quite the focus of the series. My best bet would be Futari Ecchi in this case; they're married with problems. Nodame totally works. The whole point of the show is them spending time together and hooking up. That's the main focus of the show. Her growing on him and them becoming a couple. The reason I say the other one's don't work is because that either isn't the premise of the show or it's a harem/love triangle/love pentagon. Saying first season of Nodame doesn't work is like saying first season of Shirayuki. Edit: The way I would look at it is, if you took the romance out of the show and the show still makes sense as a show, it's not a show that focuses on a couple with a romantic relationship. In Nodame Cantabile's case, if you took all the romantic tension between Nodame and Chiaki out of the show, you have a super boring show about a concede dickhead ace music student convincing an idiot savant pianist to win competitions and then says "haha i'm great, i'm going to paris show over". That's not a good show. I'm gonna use Nana as an example because it's the easiest and freshest in my mind(I'm not picking on it, I really like the anime for Nana) but if you took the romance parts out of Nana you still have a sitcom/dramedy about 2 girls that met because they have the same name and are roomates in a big city because they are poor and the relationship and strains on said relationship. That show still totally works. It actually works so well that a show that is exactly that(beside the same name bit) actually exists on syndicated american television: Two Broke Girls. That's kinda how I see most of the shows that I edited into my last post. Shows that would still be perfectly fine shows without romance but use romance to advance a non-romantic plot because it's convenient(or they don't focus on 1 couple). Where as a show like Nodame, the point of the plot is to advance the romance. |

| Just my two cents man. You can use whatever you want for whatever you want. I'm just telling you how I read it and I'm bored and have nothing else to think about. I used Shirayuki 2nd season for that challenge, so no big deal. |
